Columbia University Housing

Eligibility

We offer housing to students from any college or university who are enrolled to take courses during the summer sessions at Columbia University through the School of Continuing Education, the School of General Studies, or the Summer Architecture Program. Barnard students also qualify for summer housing through this application but must be enrolled in summer session classes. Students must be over the age of 18 and enrolled in courses for the summer. Please note that current high school students are not eligible for summer housing (this includes students who were accepted into the class of 2012). However, high school students can apply for the High School Program through the School of Continuing Education.

If you are requesting accommodations due to a disability, you must complete the Disability Housing Accommodations Request Form and submit supporting documentation to the Office of Disability Services. However, please note that this is only a request and approval by the Office of Disability Services does not necessarily guarantee that your accommodations request will be granted. Accommodations are based upon availability. If you are approved by the Office of Disability Services, we will make every effort to meet your needs.
